It's the Spurs.
The Spurs are a very good team, but they are also the top team the Lakers match best against due to the style of play. The Lakers are at their worst against fast and athletic teams, because they're old and slow and except for Howard, their own level of athleticism is very low. This is why the Clippers have destroyed them every time they played. Their best hope prior to Kobe's injury was for the Spurs to take the 1st seed and play them in the first round - then they would have had a chance to get to the WCF because in the second round it would have been Denver/Memphis and they could beat those teams, Memphis in particular. Now they will have to play the Thunder assuming they get in the playoffs to begin with, and they will be most likely swept because they don't match up well against them at all.

Chree and Coach E. No
it was actually his elbow. It was pretty awful looking but probably something you can bounce back from. I'd think it would be really sore though and difficult to do anything. he's one of the toughest players in the league tho

I more focused on whether the Jazz can beat the Grizzlies, they play before the lakeshow tomorrow. So the lakers will know the circumstances heading into the game.
As for the struggling it's not really crazy at all
This team had no off-season to build chemistry and traded one horrible coach for another during the season. All starting five have only played like 5 games together this season. It's actually incredible they're still hanging around.
Last 39 games lakers = 27-12, only Denver has a better record in that span in the West. Remember at one point this team was almost 10 games under .500 half way through the season.
